“A Truly Special Place”

Reviewed 16 July 2015
for a stay in March 2015

I was very fortunate to have found Brawa Groove after being recommended by a friend. Brawa is not your average run on the mill backpackers or villa - it's different. Martin and Yulli the two owners go out of their way to create a very welcoming atmosphere where guests can enjoy both their personal space and other guests company in the communal areas. I stayed at Brawa on and off for almost 2 months and had a fantastic experience and met plenty of awesome people. The location is ideal with lots to explore in the immediate vicinity in terms of surf, restaurants, bars and of course stunning scenery. The area seemed to me to be more mellow and mature than the likes of Kuta. If you stay here you are in for a treat!

After 2 months in Bali, that place has been one of my best experiences! Martin, the host, has been a real value to the experience. He has been kind, helpful and has bring us a lot of fun. He has organized a lot of group activities with the guests. We have been to Uluwatu temple by motorbike, enjoyed babi guling Ribs, a nice Barbecue buffet, played games in the living room... The best way to meet new people. That was a really good experience, and Martin has been the key part of this. Thank you!! One other thing : Martin has been really helpful, bringing us to Kuta by car for free in order to save money. Martin is the best! :-) What's more? The staff is kind, polite and helpful. The pool is really great, I have enjoyed it by night after a nice party in Old Man's Restaurant (I strongly recommend the beer pong contest on Wednesday). The room is beautiful and clean. The neighborhood is calm, a lot of restaurants around. The place is close to the beach (3 min by motorbike). More than a room, it's a house! More than a guest/hosts, it's a family! Yes, I RECOMMEND IT.

I couldn't recommend this place more. I really liked the place, its location and the atmosphere, but most of all the attention of the owner and his staff. Martin is a very charming guy that wants you to have the best time possible and his enthusiasm and attention makes it possible. He is simply the best host. The property is really nice, clean and well kept and the best part of it is the pool, it's beautiful. You get the chance to meet other poeple if there are more guests staying ther. I even had the opportunity to go out on very fun day trips with Martin and other guests. There is a big common area, with a complete kitchen, living room/tv room and dining table which is very inviting and comfortable. When I go back I would love to stay at this place again and hang out with Martin. Good times Martin!
